Wreck-It Ralph (the voice of John C. Reilly) is the villain in the arcade
game of hero Fix-It Felix, Jr. (Jack McBrayer). Longing to be the good guy,
Ralph heads out on a quest across the arcade through other video games to
prove he has what it takes to be a hero. Along the way, he meets the rugged
Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch) in the action game "Hero's Duty" and misfit
Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) in the candy-coated cart racing
game "Sugar Rush". A threat to the arcade is unleashed and it's up to Ralph,
with a little help from his new friends, to save the day. "Wreck-It Ralph"
is an inventive and outrageously funny animated treat for all ages. This
is a pleasant surprise that comes out of the Walt Disney Animation Studios:
an innovative concept that should have been created by Pixar. It wasn't
a surprise to find Pixar genius John Lasseter listed as executive producer.
Under his guidance, director Rich Moore (television's "The Simpsons") delivers
one of the year's best animated features. Laced with humor and inside jokes,
it's difficult to catch them all the first time around. But the lovable
and quirky characters may be worth a second visit. The entire voice cast,
led by John C. Reilly, is perfect. Alan Tudyk takes top honors as the voice
of King Candy, the ruler of Sugar Rush. He sounds a lot like Ed Wynn's Mad
Hatter from "Alice in Wonderland". This is a good thing, since most of the
action takes place inside the sugary game where Vanellope is a "glitch"
who's trapped there. Hard-core gamers may be upset at the long stay in this
land, but it's necessary to the plot. Fear not, there are many cameos of
classic video game characters to entertain the audience. Once again, 3D
enhances the colorful landscapes - but isn't needed to enjoy this magical
adventure. As an added bonus, the delightful cartoon short "Paperman" (also
in 3D) accompanies the main feature. Just in time for awards season, "Wreck-It
Ralph" should be a player in the game.

Making its Blu-ray/DVD debut on March 5, 2013, "Wreck-It Ralph"
dazzles with a flawless video and audio presentation in both 2D and 3D.
The only way to get the 3D version is in the Ultimate Collector's
Edition 4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack. Loaded with extras, this edition is
worth the retail price. Bonuses include alternate & deleted
scenes, video game commercials, behind-the-scenes featurette and more.
The biggest bonus treat is the award-winning animated short "Paperman".
This mystical romantic tale is also presented in 2D and 3D. While the
feature and short are entertaining in any dimension, the 3D experience
is visually captivating. On today's televisions, the brightness level
surpasses that of the theater screens. The feeling of depth is enhanced
in home viewing. Delivering a high definition wonder, Disney has yet
another winner.
